Planning & Architecture Services in Enfield

Enfield History

In 1965 the old boroughs of Enfield, Southgate and Edmonton were amalgamated to create the Borough of Enfield as it is today.

Up until the mid 19th century the land was mainly rural and used for agriculture. Enfield itself was known as a small market town. However with improvements in London’s railway network in the late 19th and early 20th century, it became part of the commuter belt and therefore more homes were built.

Get Planning and Architecture has overseen a number of successful projects in the London borough of Enfield. Our team of experts have worked on a wide range of projects here, and are familiar with the Local Planning Authority.
